Is a Google Cloud account required to use this agent or can we use it locally with the API?

You can use Google AI Studio or Vertex: https://google.github.io/adk-docs/get-started/quickstart/#setup-the-model .

You can also use Litellm with API keys from other providers: https://google.github.io/adk-docs/get-started/tutorial/#step-2-going-multi-model-with-litellm .
